Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 3.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1.5 cups warm milk about 105-115°F
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature

Cinnamon Swirl Filling

  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter softened

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and yeast. Make sure the yeast is evenly distributed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or stand mixer with a dough hook until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms. It will be wetter than traditional wheat dough.
  • Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon swirl filling by creaming together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until a paste forms.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle approximately 10x15 inches.
  • Spread the cinnamon swirl filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border.
  • Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  • Carefully transfer the rolled dough seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Cover the loaf pan loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the rim of the pan.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. If it starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Can be frozen for longer storage.
